Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services combine manual interventions and targeted exercises to restore mobility and reduce pain. We address musculoskeletal conditions through personalized treatment plans focusing on joint function, muscle strength, and nerve health. Patients benefit from evidence-based techniques that promote long-term recovery and prevent future injuries.
Telehealth Services
Telehealth physical therapy provides remote access to expert care through virtual consultations. This service enables patients to receive evaluations and treatment guidance from home, ensuring continuity of care for those with mobility limitations or scheduling constraints while maintaining the same clinical standards as in-person visits.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized pelvic floor therapy addresses dysfunction in the pelvic muscles through targeted manual treatment and exercise programs. We help patients resolve issues related to pelvic pain, incontinence, and postpartum recovery using non-invasive techniques that restore normal muscle function and improve quality of life.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets myofascial pain using sterile needles to release muscle tension and trigger points. This advanced technique effectively reduces chronic pain and improves mobility by addressing taut muscle bands that contribute to discomfort and restricted movement.
BASI Pilates
BASI Pilates integrates controlled movements into rehabilitation programs to enhance flexibility, strength, and endurance. This method supports recovery by improving core stability and body awareness, making it an effective complement to traditional physical therapy for both rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
